Abstract
A review of the literature on the topic of soot formation during combustion of fuels from biocomponents is presented. The review contains brief information on the mechanisms of soot formation, the stages of its formation and the factors influencing this process. An analysis of representatives of various groups of oxygenated biofuels is carried out in terms of their influence on the level of soot formation. Generally accepted characteristics of the level of soot emissions for hydrocarbon fuels are given, their advantages and disadvantages are presented.
